“This is the policy you get when you capitulate to the climate terrorists on your backbench. This is a policy of appeasement designed to please Tony Abbott and the other Trumps on the backbench.

“Malcolm Turnbull has served up a policy that means more coal and less renewables, which means more bushfires, worse heatwaves and longer droughts. Coal kills and this policy encourages coal to stay in the system longer, which is a threat to our way of life.”

“Renewables mean lower prices because they are cheaper to build, cheaper to run and the fuel from the sun and the wind is free. The rest of the world is moving in one direction, embracing cheap, clean renewables and Australia is stuck in the dark ages trying to rub two sticks together.”
